He was a character but dude could fucking slug haha.

Really got robbed of the 1995 MVP as he had a much better season than I guess a more likeable Mo Vaughn? Should also be in HOF. Good comparison would be Puckett as he didn't have the numbers with career cut short to injuries.

Something I liked about Belle was he pretty much made no secret he was going for the most money when he left here and that's what he got. None of the "this is where I want to be..I love it here....have to rip shirt off my back to leave (Thome)", etc.

Oh shit! Belle isn’t in the Hall? I thought he was. He should be in my eyes.

At his best still the best hitter I've ever seen for the Tribe (Manny can make a case, I guess).

Yeah, my bad. I was going to bring that up as a question but since they were talking about Belle I thought it would be too obvious.
